Hamaliel Soliare

''“One who harms others for what they feel in any way, has experienced sorrow itself. They have experienced more than what they let on...Or they’re just a jerk”''-Hamaliel to Ryanch

Hamaliel is the very first Favorite that Ryanch encounters throughout the Favoriteland series and the 2nd protagonist that Ryanch fights. He is 16 in Favoriteland, 17 in Favoriteland: Forward, 32 in Favoriteland: Legacy and 35 in Favoriteland: Rebirth in Uprising he’s 37 and in Traitors Among Us, is 54.

Appearance:
His hair is a mahogany & Redish-like colour with 3 light purple spikes on the right side. This is pretty uncommon among his kind. Hamaliel has bright brown eyes that seem to darken when he’s down and in battle. Hamaliel wears a navy Indigo-ish robe with many different separated sections at the midway, to present the difference of logic in Favoriteland. He wears a spiked crimson red collar with those spikes being orangish. He also wears two collar like gauntlets on his hands.His casual outfit is a black t-shirt and grey jeans. He wears two knee high boots too. He seems to have 2 Vaspfawolf ears that take the place of his 2 Vulacanian ears. He also has a fluffy grey tail that blends with lighter greys. He has sharp claws that come out when he feels threatened. His Elemental outfit is an indigo robe with a lavender belt, dark violet boots and four spikes that separate at the belt forming four separate spikes at the front and back. His robe reaches all the way down to his hands and unlike his casual robe, is absent of collar gauntlets. He also wears a purple mask that covers the majority of his face. His pure knight outfit is identical to Derlink’s except that he doesn’t have a place where hair comes out of the helmet. He too is absent of wings, but his incident was much more gruesome than Hyuzu’s.

Personality:
Hamaliel is very smart and is the smartest of all the Mafavalians. Being very observant, able to tell if something is wrong and can figure out mysteries easily. He However, seems to be a shy boy, not really caring to make the first move in conversations. He’s a nightbird, he can stay up all night and sleep all day and vice versa. Hamaliel is very playful, often joking around with the others like making puns or jokes. He can in contrast though be direct to the point, often giving the others a hard time when there’s illogical reasoning. Although he likes to be fun more than serious. Hamaliel seems to also be susceptible to anxiety, as he worries about almost everything. Making it hard for him to resist giving into Dea. Due to his shyness, he has been deemed mostly an introvert who is gentle and kind. He can be awkward in some situations and cares not for charm. He can be read like a book when it comes to emotions, but prefers to keep to himself unless it’s Derlink he’s talking to. He also says he didn’t like school because “It was boring but Academy is fun.” When entering Imaginary Academy, Hamaliel could see the pattern in the test almost instantaneously which is why he breezed through easily, but due to not attacking and demonstrating his Element/power, he was given a B like Derlink. When meeting someone for the first time, Hamaliel gives them the cold shoulder and if it’s an enemy, attacks them. Despite this, he is easily won over if they demonstrate kindness (to which Derlink disapproves of as he says they might be putting on a facade.) The weak characteristic that Hamaliel has is that he is physically weak and relies on mental power and intellect to win a fight. He is also a little “too predictable in fightIng” says Derlink. This is because Hamaliel uses the most easy way to beat his opponents almost 100% of the time and opponents like Derlink see right through him due to sensing. He hates confrontation unlike his cousin who loves it and will do anything to prevent fights before they happen.

Early Life:
Hamaliel’s early life was cold. He was born to pass the kingdom of Vula onto. His father expected perfect grades, but his mother let Hamaliel have fun. His whole life was deprived of fun and amusement. His father was behind the reason as to why Vulacanians were more reasoning and direct than emotional and comforting. He told Hamaliel that Vulacanians were easily able to develop mental illness, which is why they made a vaccine that locks their feelings and compassion away. However Hamaliel was descended from the earliest form of their kind that resembled a type of wolf. Hamaliel was introduced to the vaccine as well, but it failed. His father always wanted to know EVERYTHING that happened and made every choice for his son. His looks were clearly mistreated when he turned into his beast as a kid and his powers had no approval at all. Rather his father believed that Hamaliel had a disease when his wings started to grow in (which Gemini made up) This resulted in him getting his wings removed and making him love his beast more than his birth looks, so he decided to be half of each to show he wasn’t ashamed and that he still respects his kingdom. Over time, spikes that were originally his wings bones came out, giving him the ability to still somewhat fly, but while they’re on the ground. His mother greatly disapproved of his father’s way of raising Hamaliel and would let him have fun so he could “have a normal childhood” and while his father wanted children, the main reason was so he had an heir. His mother wanted children to love and to raise.

Teenage Years:
Throughout his teen years, Hamaliel was treated unfairly, on teams he was called a “Disadvantage.” Everyday his father would stare at him puzzled whenever he had fun like splashing in puddles. As such, Hamaliel decided to rub it in their faces that he was happy with who he was. He even kept his ears and tail along with a collar to show how much he loved himself. Due to this, many Vulacanians decided to not vaccinate their children with the right brain quality reducing vaccine, but still gave them healthcare vaccines. Vulacanians retained their intellect and power in dreams, but were more open with how they felt. When Hamaliel seen that they were on his side, he made a rebellion with those that agreed with him and overthrew his father. He became king after he overthrew his father immediately and was guided by his mother. He passed a law that requires everyone is honest with themselves and helps others. He said at the age of 17 that any Vulacanians that need help with anything that they might want to consider or should seek it immediately. He was a responsible & carefree teenager who didn’t care what others thought. Before overthrowing his parents, he led a riot to get rid of the vaccine that reduced emotion in them and everyone saw him doing the right thing. He was the third youngest king (Azguel was king of the Humarians at 13 and Derlink was king of Elves at 15).

Hamaliel’s Element of Negative Shroud’s Illusion:
Many of his comrades have very flashy Elements like Soundwaves or Frostflame, but Hamaliel was blessed with a humble, rare and strategic Element instead. He calls his Element “Shadow” it relies on people’s negativity so he can harness it and use it for a positive manner. The more negative the atmosphere is, the more powerful his attacks are. His Element is used to shroud him in a dark mist to disguise himself in a sort of camouflage, then use his claws to attack. When he is done his battle, Hamaliel returns the negativity, but it’s changed into positivities. In the reality though, his Element’s name is called “Negative Shroud.” Normally, the negativity will form a tornado like swirl around the opponent as Hamaliel enters and leaves it to attack. He uses guilt to make the opponent falter unless they break through it which happens rarely. By harnessing REALLY bad negativity such as the 5 possessed knights, he can feel the guilt himself and keel over. Passing out sometimes! If the opponent he has is good, like Ryanch when he had to prove himself to be strong, it is Hamaliel’s guilt that makes the tornado like shadow. It’s Hamaliel who feels the pain of guilt. He can also generate illusions of any kind.


 * He can harness the guilt in the area where the battle is, using it to bring opponents to their knees.
 * Depending on how strong the guilt is, it can range from opponents starting to realize they are doing something wrong, to them crying and laying on the floor in a state where they are incapable of fighting.
 * Hamaliel’s bites can cause people to rearrange logic to where they might think they know the answer, when they’re actually wrong.
 * Hamaliel can also create painful illusions that can “bring opponents down memory lane” Which causes them to get distracted.
 * Even though Hamaliel brings opponents to their knees, he bears the most internal pain by seeing what they did and went through. When he battle’s Derlink, he actually cries because of the pain.
 * If the opponent is kind and nice, Hamaliel has to feel guilty to make the dark tornado shadow. If they’re bad, he hasn’t need to do so.
 * If the guilt is strong, it can cause Hamaliel to feel sick or even leave him traumatized for at least the rest of the day.
 * Hamaliel can also turn negativity into positivity if he decides to, but this makes the opponent more determined.

Fighting Styles:
Hamaliel’s fighting style is more thought out than made on strength itself. He tends to use guilt to guilt trip the opponent and bring their guard down. In most cases, this doesn’t go too far and physical fighting isn’t needed. However, if they do just that and continue to fight, Hamaliel will leap at seemingly all sides and use his claws to scratch and tear at his opponent while they feel the guilt. He leaps and jumps at his enemy with his two sai’s and sharp fangs, defeating them easily.

Relationships:
Derlink Sapparel: Hamaliel was always Derlink’s little cousin. When he first started running his kingdom, Derlink gave him pointers on how to do it. Hamaliel is worried about Derlink’s state of mind When it comes to opening up to others and is the more merciful one of the two. He always looked up to him as Derlink protested against his parent’s ways of running a kingdom. When the two fought and Hamaliel used his power, he could see that while Derlink’s eyes were narrowed, tears were coming down from them. However, Derlink did win.

Ronri and Judy Soliare: Hamaliel treats his son to a lot of activities like chess and artistic hobbies. He trusts Ronri as Ronri was much less naive than Hamaliel was at his age. But Hamaliel feels that Ronri is growing up too fast and misses the times when Ronri used to look up at him instead of look at his height. Derlink says he understands the feeling as he was never apart from his children either. Judy on the other hand, Hamaliel hates to talk about. Everytime he hears her name it brings up painful memories of her hiding Ronri away and cheating on him. He doesn’t contact her, but also reads her letters to see if anything is wrong. She’s asked to see Ronri multiple times, but both Hamaliel and Ronri refuse.

Azguel Favoriteland: Hamaliel and Azguel are on good terms with each other and get along well because of their uncanny similarities such as compassionate and trusting. They like to reminisce about what happened and predict the future. Azguel feels like he’s obligated to be good friends with Hamaliel and he actually wants to anyways.

Hyuzu Favoriteland: Despite Hyuzu being angrier than Derlink himself, Hamaliel sees that Hyuzu is angry for a reason and is one of the only people Hyuzu doesn’t get angry at much. When the two hang out, Hyuzu is a little tense and Hamaliel has demonstrated he can calm him down. He also tells Hyuzu that he knows how it feels to be weaker than a family member (Hamaliel is weaker than Derlink). This makes their friendship very strong.

Pyro Favoriteland: Hamaliel and Pyro do not really socialize when it’s just the two of them. But they do get on good terms because Hamaliel is aware that Pyro cares about Derlink and respects the king.

Scar Favoriteland: Hamaliel has been alone with the queen to get to know her a lot. Scar knows when Hamaliel is anxious about something and will always make sure he feels better. They often like to watch the other Favorites train and Scar tells Hamaliel that one day he will accomplish his goal.

Gradient & Helen Soliare: When it comes to his father Gradient, Hamaliel wants nothing to do with him. With his mother Helen, Hamaliel is quite close to her and visits her as a surprise and when his father is out.

Gemini Aplex: Gemini was a Vulacanian girl who was supposed to be Hamaliel’s wife in the future. Hamaliel didn’t like her one bit because of the way she behaved (bullying others and going crazy). She was the one who told his father that Hamaliel had a disease ad caused his wings to be ripped out in a surgery.

Endraxus: Even though Endraxus is humorous and loyal, Hamaliel sees a guy that’s crazed for romance. They aren’t on bad terms, but are distant despite having similar interests like drums. Hamaliel doesn’t take kindly to Endraxus having a hopeless romantic personality (he’s aware of some of the other Favorites having it but Endraxus is more blunt). He knows Endraxus has a huge crush on Galexiar and wants him to tell her, only for Endraxus to get flustered and not tell her.

Professions:
Member of the Pure Knights: Hamaliel is the right hand of Derlink and is in charge of scouting the Dark areas while Derlink scouts the forestry AND Evil Areas. He works hard, but shows mercy.

The Favorite of Logic: Hamaliel’s responsibility is one of the more layer back jobs as all he has to do is make sure that everyone has common sense. He does his job very well, mostly making sure that science applies to every action made. Luckily he just uses his minions more than himself, yet still makes sure everyone can think clearly himself on some occasions.

Popular Artist: Hamaliel is especially skilled at drawing and art, often slacking off to do drawing than solving equations. He is known throughout the world.

School Life:
Hamaliel went to the same school as Derlink, Hyuzu and Azguel. He and Derlink were introduced to the princes and Derlink easily made friends with Azguel while Hamaliel made friends with the short fused Hyuzu. However, when Derlink betrayed Azguel because he was envious, Hamaliel was the one who stopped the confrontation and he and Hyuzu would always literally pull Derlink back. Hamaliel also did well in school, but was told by other Vulcanians that “he had much to say” because he gave his honest opinion instead of “the right one.” Hamaliel seems to remember the day of Azguel and Derlink’s final fight before going to Imaginary Academy quite clearly. He tells everyone “I seen Az surrender right when it started. Derlink seemed surprised, I could see the grief and envy in his eyes. In all my life I’ve never seen eyes so vibrant in what they felt. Derlink narrowed those very eyes at Azguel and told him he didn’t need to beat him to prove that Azguel was weaker than him. Then he turned and walked into a forest with Azguel following. I made an illusion that I was a butterfly and seen that Derlink was splashing his face with water. But I seen his glassy eyes, saddened that he lost.” Hamaliel goes to I.A because he wants to sharpen his reactions to disasters and to hone his skills in holding guilt so he can use it better. To live up to Derlink’s status and work alongside him. He idolizes his older cousin and wants to be just like him.

Family Life (SPOILER ALERT):
Hamaliel met his wife Judy in the events of Favoriteland Forward. She was first depicted as kind, trustworthy and honest in Hamaliel’s eyes. But Derlink saw differently and warned Hamaliel that something fishy was up with Judy. Hamaliel was confused, but married Judy a year after Derlink’s wedding to Lapis. Judy hid the fact that she was pregnant with Hamaliel’s baby since she was cheating on Hamaliel with another guy (who Derlink later beat up to signify that Hamaliel was a victim of “That filthy man’s acts” and humiliated Judy.

Two years after the wedding, everything seemed fine in Hamaliel’s marriage, until Judy found out she was pregnant. She didn’t want Hamaliel to know because she was seeing another guy behind Hamaliel’s back who’s name was Vinty. She didn’t know who the father was until she took a DNA test and confirmed that it was indeed a prince and not a “commoner” according to her. Hamaliel suspected she was pregnant due to her body starting to show it, but Judy lied by saying she was accidentally hit by a spell from a Mythrian to make an illusion she was pregnant. After she gave birth to her first and only son, she decided to name him Tsuki and put him in an orphanage. Eventually Hamaliel went to the doctors to ask what was wrong with Judy after the baby was delivered and hidden away, only for the doctor to spill the beans and said she just gave birth to a son…his son. Hamaliel was devastated and when the doctors said she put it up for adoption saying Hamaliel agreed, he felt betrayed and confronted her. She got defensive, but Hamaliel got persistent and went to the orphanage, only to find his son was adopted by a gang of criminals for the past year and a half. He burst in and took his son back and divorced Judy after finding out both she hid his own son from him and that she cheated on him. Hamaliel finds it hard to find love and even Ronri (previously named Tsuki, but was renamed by Hamaliel) said he despises his mother for what she did.

While Ronri hates his mother for her acts, Hamaliel reads letters that she sends in case something goes wrong. The ones sent to Ronri, are ripped up into pieces by him.
